Anthony Caro - Jubilee Park, Canary Wharf

An exhibition focusing on Caro's steel sculptures from 1973 to 2010. Steel being probably my favourite material for sculpture I enjoyed it immensely. I read that Caro doesn't like his sculpture being displayed outside which is possibly understandable, given its industrial look perhaps he feels it is best in a factory type setting, but I thought it went rather well in the landscaped stone and grass of Jubilee Park.


A word of advice though, try and avoid going at lunchtime on a sunny day if you can. I made that mistake and it was hard to see some of the sculptures properly as the park was so crowded. A return visit on a rainy day allowed much easier, albeit wet, viewing.
